BlackBerry KEYone Launched by TCL

The BlackBerry brand may not be dead after all. The erstwhile leader in enterprise mobile phones have gone through a dramatic downfall in recent years. It got worse that the company at one time was being marketed for possible buyers. But the company has chosen to grind through the challenges and has continued to introduce BlackBerry phones in the market, albeit they may not be that popular as it once was. But they continue to survive, forging partnerships with other manufacturers. One of these partnerships has led to the introduction of the new BalckBerry KEYone smartphone.

The BlackBerry KEYone is the first smartphone coming out that is the product of a licensing partnership with TCL Communications, a leading Chinese smartphone manufacturer. It features a great design, display, and camera to give users a distinctly different user experience. The new BlackBerry smartphone comes with an elegant anodized aluminum frame and a soft touch textured back. It features a 4.5-inch HD display with tough Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for better impact and scratch resistance. Aside from a virtual keyboard, the BlackBerry KEYone smartphone features a physical keyboard as well, which is classic BlackBerry in every way. The New BlackBerry KEYone smartphone will be available sometime in April of this year. It is expected to cost around $549.
